Aidan,

You will disagree with anything I put up because I have revealed you as a windbag, so you are wasting your time. I don't care what you think about anything. I will not stop referring to wind and solar as UNRELIABLES, because they are unreliable, so you know what you can do. Whether Germany is replacing nuclear (which they are) or coal, they are extremely stupid, just like Australia, whose uselessness political class will go along with any fairy tale that comes along - a bit like you.

certainly 200000 Victorians found out last week how unreliable renewables are. Even with facts staring them in the face the Government stood by their lying narrative.

Yes, runner, the MSM doesn't want to talk about the Victorian blackouts. As one commentator said it's unfortunate for Morrison that he cannot capitalise on it for the Federal election because his (Morrison's) energy policies are not much different from Victoria's and Labor's in general. There is no politician with any sanity on the issue.

Back to Germany: in now looks like any cleaning up of the air prior to 2009 was due to their getting rid of filthy, East German machinery, not expensive unreliables. So, it's all been for nothing as even bent UN officials admit.

ttbn,
No matter how much you and the neocons' useful idiot try to blame renewables, the fact remains that output from renewables was above average at the time. But Victoria could not rely on the output from Yallourn or Loy Yang A

But you will not refer to coal power as UNRELIABLES because you're no really interested in reliability at all. It doesn't tie in with your preconceived notions of cost, even though those bear very little resemblance to the truth.

Liars!!

Germany to phase out coal-powered electricity by 2038

Aiden, my actual experience was to check out my electricity price and be told my current supplier would be better value under a different plan. I changed to that plan and got fifty dollars of my own money back from the Victorian Government. That was last November. My cost in January increased on last year by twenty seven dollars. Voila, my fifty bucks was eaten up in less than two months and I bet AGL will not double their profit this year, as they did last year but certainly increase it.
There are the actual facts. Spare me your sarcasm and oh so superior abuse. I have no respect for you, you do not know me, you are part of the disgusting theft of poor people's money with the rider that it is good for them!
